Hah! If so then I might get it before you, in Australia it's out on Thursday, which is actually your Wednesday! It's always on store shelves the first day too.

It will be at all the major chains here on Wednesday, but if you pre-ordered it you can probably get it on Tuesday because game stores will actually give out the games right when they get them rather than the next day.  This is the reason I'm going to pre-order it tomarrow...even though that seems rediculous, as long as they haven't filled all of the pre-orders it should allow me to get my game earlier.  Game stores can be b!tches about selling you a game on launch day if you didn't pre-order it.

I went to Walmart last night about 1:30...the guy was a total a**hole.  I asked if he had any copies in the back...like they hadn't stocked them yet, and he was all "No. All we have is out here."

And the ONLY OTHER GORRAM STORE IN TOWN that sells videogames is notorius about not getting them anywhere near the release date...I mean, they just barely got Meteos about a month ago...

They were pretty much on the ball with Castlevania, though. Got that one all quick like.

It's times like this that it sucks living on the east coast. None of the stores get it in untill tommorow, and Circuit City(which has a $5 off coupon in their consumers guide) doesn't get it in untill Wednesday.

Speaking of five bucks off games, check your latest NP issue for a souple coupons =O

But yeah, no beans today.  If I had preordered it perhaps I could have gotten it tomarrow, but I guess I'll just wait till Thursday....and Mario is the winner =(

rock on. I just got MK. I took my ds and the game and went straight to McDonald's. Opened the game, popped it in, turned the DS on, and went straight for the WiFi. Zero configuration all it asked me was if I wanted to connect to WFC. Chose worldwide, and played 4 tracks. Came in 2nd. Can't wait to play the rest of the game.

Rock on!

Uh-oh gas has been dropping in price too, Stevey may be going back to his store-burning pyro ways...

It will be interesting to watch the Mario Kart page and see who gets online

That little bar that shows the use over the last two weeks should have a HUGE spike in it.

I don't subscribe to NP(and I won't unless they start including demo discs) and I don't feel like buying an issue just for coupons, so I guess I need to head to Blockbuster and acquire the couplns out of it like I did with the Mystic Ticket.

Apparently it's out now (at EB) in Oz!

OMG! So it is! I could go down to EB right now and get it if I had 10 more dollars... but I have to wait for Target to get it in (Target advertised it for only $59). I'll check tomorrow!

The race is still on, with a stroke of luck I could still obtain this game before Mario.

I can't wait to play Mario, If he's as good on Mario Kart as he is in DK Jungle Beat then I will defenitly have good competition.

Everyone kicks my butt on DK Jungle Beat.

However, I'm incredibly good at some other games.
We'll just have to see how I fare in Mario Kart DS.

Despite JB and Mario Kart being completely different games i'm confident I could put up a challenge in Mario Kart DS too, you're all going down!

WHOA! Awesome. Even though I should have the game in the next 24 hours, I need to Dongle to go online and that wont arrive until Monday because Nintendo is being stupid here and not letting us order it until Thursday.

You know, I drove around a wee bit before coming home to play and found 13 different places to connect (only two of which would have required passwords)...  And I live in a really small crappy town...
